To be honest I disagree with the stance that ‘If you don’t identify as a feminist you are stupid and heartless’ because you can refuse to identify personally as one and still support women’s rights, many women feel uncomfortable with the label and i don’t blame them (many women of colour/trans women/sex workers have very solid reasons to be put off by the mainstream feminism movement), but to id as anti-feminist doesn’t mean you are ‘annoyed’ by the movement, it means you identify as another distinct movement very often composed of neo-nazis/right-wing extremists/MRAs/religious fundamentalists who hate women and the rights they are asking for in any shape of form. Loads of anti-feminists are against the idea of women voting, women having a career, women having rights on their own bodies, are violently transmisogynistic, racist, homophobic, and could downright be classified as a hate group. So when you say you are ‘anti-feminists’ because of willful ignorance and you reduce feminism to one uninformed post made by a young girl on Tumblr, you should have a look at the movement you are supporting yourself first and make sure you really want to identify with it lmao
